1 INTRODUCTION: -
1.1 The Ministry of Road Transport and Highways (MoRTH) is the nodal authority for
implementation of Fuel Consumption standards notified by Ministry of Power vide
notification no. S.O. 1072(E) dated 23rd April, 2015. Accordingly, MoRTH has adopted
this procedure under CMVR, 1989 vide notification no. G.S.R. 954(E) dated the 4th
October, 2016 and G.S.R 1461(E) dated 27th November, 2017.
1.2 The Fuel Consumption standards given in the said notification issued by Ministry of
Power are in terms of Fuel Consumption in litre/100km. For the purpose of establishing
compliance to these standards as per this procedure, these standards shall be converted
into CO2 g/km. Accordingly, for the purpose of this procedure the equation of the
average fuel consumption standard (in litre/100km) given in the said notification issued
by Ministry of Power as
a x (W-b) + c
is converted into CO2 g/km as (a * (W-b) + c) * 23.7135
The values of “a”, “b”, “c” and “W” shall be as specified in the notification S.O. 1072(E)
dated 23rd April, 2015, issued by Ministry of Power.
The compliance to the CO2 equation mentioned here shall be deemed as compliance to
the average fuel consumption standard in petrol equivalent litre/100km given in the said
notification issued by Ministry of Power.
1.3 In accordance with the MoRTH notification G.S.R. 954(E), dated the 4th October, 2016,
this procedure specifies the technical and administrative details for monitoring the
compliance to Fuel Consumption standards for M1 Category vehicles not exceeding 3.5
tons GVW tested on Chassis dynamometer subjected to type approval as per CMVR,
1989.
This procedure needs to be read in conjunction with prevalent emission regulation

Conformity of production of motor vehicles for mass emission of pollutants and fuel
consumption.

7.3 If the measured value of CO2 exceeds the manufacturer’s declared CO2 by more
than 4 per cent, additional test shall be run on the same vehicle.
7.4 When the average of the two test results does not exceed the manufacturer’s declared
value by more than four per cent, then the value declared by the manufacturer is
considered as the type approval value for the purpose of this regulation.
7.5 If the average still exceeds the declared value by more than 4 per cent, a final test is run
on the same vehicle. The average of the three test results is considered as the type
approval value for the purpose of this regulation.
7.6 During the process of 7.2 to 7.5 the manufacturer may modify the declared value. If the

same for both 4x4 & 4x2, test will be carried out in 4X4 variant.
is different for 4x4 & 4x2 variants, test will be carried out on both variants.
Page 7 of 18
However, for vehicle model having selectable option for 4x2 & 4x4 modes,
test will be carried out in 4x4 mode.
A NON-SUBMISSION OF DATA
A.1 From the date of implementation, every manufacturer shall submit the Annual fuel
consumption compliance report to the designated agency by 31st May following the
reporting period.
A.2 It is the responsibility of every manufacturer to submit the Annual fuel consumption
report to the designated agency by 31st May following the reporting period, failing
which the designated agency shall report the matter to MoRTH and Ministry of
Power/BEE for further suitable action against such manufacturers.
B NON-COMPLIANCE
B.1 From the date of implementation, every manufacturer shall maintain a fuel consumption
passbook for continuously monitoring their corporate average fuel consumption
including CO2 credits and debits.
B.2 In case manufacturer does not comply with the requirements of MoRTH Fuel
consumption Standard in the reporting period, the designated agency shall report such
non compliance to MORTH and Ministry of Power/BEE for further suitable action
against such manufacturers.
10.1 Vehicles approved to as per the procedure shall be so manufactured as to conform to the
type approved vehicle.
10.1.1 The appropriate production checks shall be carried out to comply with the conditions
in10.1
Administrative Procedure for COP shall be applicable as per Part VI of
MoRTH/CMVR/TAP-115/116.
Page 8 of 18
10.2 The production of a series is regarded as conforming or non-conforming, on the basis
of tests on the three sampled vehicles, once a pass or fail decision is reached for CO 2,
according to the test criteria applied in the appropriate table 1. If no pass or fail
decision is reached for CO2, a test is carried out on an additional vehicle (see figure 1).
10.3 In the case of periodically regenerating systems (e.g. DPF), the results shall be
multiplied by the factor Ki obtained by the procedure specified in relevant emission
regulation at the time when type approval was granted. At the request of the
manufacturer, testing may be carried out immediately after regeneration has been
completed.
10.4 In case of multiple modes, where default mode is not available, COP shall be carried
out on all the modes on one (01) sample.

Note: Vehicle selection for compliance to Emission and Fuel Consumption COP can be same.
10.4 Notwithstanding the requirements of Part XIV, the tests will be carried out on
zero km vehicles.
10.4.1 However, at the request of the manufacturer, the tests will be carried out on
vehicles which have been run-in a maximum of 15,000 km.
In this case:,
(a) The run-in procedure will be conducted by the manufacturer who shall
undertake not to make any adjustments to those vehicles.
(b) The test result shall be multiplied by the Evolution Coefficient (EC) determined
as follows:
- The emissions of CO2 will be measured at zero and at ‘x’ km on the first
tested vehicle (which can be the type approval vehicle);
- The evolution coefficient (EC) of the emissions between zero and ‘x’
km will be calculated as follows:
Emissions at x km
EC =
Emissions at zero km
The value of EC may be less than 1.
The following vehicles will not be subjected to the running-in procedure, but
their zero km emissions will be modified by the evolution coefficient, EC.
In this case, the values to be taken will be:
Page 10 of 18
The value at ‘x’ km for the first vehicle;
The values at zero km multiplied by the evolution coefficient for the
following vehicles.
10.4.2 As an alternative to this procedure, the manufacturer can use a fixed evolution
coefficient, EC, of 0.92 and multiply all values of CO2 measured at zero km by
this factor. While following this alternative procedure, all the remaining
regulated pollutants shall also comply with prevailing norms at zero km.
n j=1
10.5.4 Table 1 shows values of the pass (An) and fail (Bn) decision numbers against
current sample number. The test statistic is the ratio dn / vn and shall be used
to determine whether the series has passed or failed as follows:
for mo n m:
10.5.4.1
pass the series if d n / v n An ;
10.5.4.2
fail the series if d n / v n Bn ;
10.5.4.3
take another measurement if An d n / v n Bn .
10.6 In case of low volume vehicles with Annual production less than 250 per 6
months, manufacture has to do test as per the procedure prescribed for emission
measurement and the CO2 results to be verified as per Manufacturer declared
CO2 value.
10.7 Consequences of COP Series Rejection
10.7.1 In case of series is rejected as during COP, the manufacturer shall change the
“Manufacturers declared value”. In such cases for the purpose of verification of
manufactures re-declared CO2 value, COP test result shall be considered.
10.8 Fuels: All tests shall be conducted with the reference fuel as specified in the
applicable gazette notification. However, at the manufacturer’s request, tests
may be carried out with commercial fuel.
